---

The Jardin botanique du Val d'Yser is a 2.6-hectare botanical garden located at 1 rue du Perroquet Vert in Bambecque, in the Nord department of northern France.

Created in winter 2000 on what was formerly an agricultural field by a local association, the garden blends multiple styles with its main theme centered on seasonal ornamental plants. The space is divided into four unequal, asymmetrical zones representing the four seasons, marked by straight lines but connected by winding paths.

It houses an impressive collection of over 1,400 species and varieties of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants, including both native and exotic species that are spectacular or unexpected. Beyond ornamental plants, the garden also features vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, an apiary, and a pond, with ornamental, culinary, and fruit plants growing among native grasses to create a natural appearance.
